The passengers must have been terrified at the time. Yet another example of the hidden costs of smoking.

[Minkyme]

No one was smoking, he was vaping.

[mallyh]

frightening for the passengers but I can't understand why the pilot who wasn't involved was punished

[pixie374]

He turned off the wrong control. It isn't even directly due to the vaping.

[Spicerack]

You're so obsessed you're making a fool of yourself.

[Old_Geezer]

Smoking/vaping, difference not significant. Same action, same result.

Minkyme: “No one was smoking, he was vaping.”
99.9% of vapers are smokers who can’t give up, his habit endangered the plane.

Pixie: “He turned off the wrong control. It isn't even directly due to the vaping.”
He was trying to turn of the control to stop the smoke entering the cabin, if he had not been vaping/smoking then that would not have been necessary, QED it was directly due to vaping.

That's daft, ttt. He could have been eating a tuna fish sandwich. He made a mistake.

[pixie374]

And there is no smoke .

Steam... Pilots are meant to be intelligent.

I would not want to fly with a pilot who was so incompetent he could not do something as simple as turning on/off an air conditioning fan without a mistake. What if he had lost an engine or had a fire onboard and was trying to make a full emergency descent & landing? That is about a million times more complicated. ''Sorry I pressed the wrong button'' would not go down well. (but the plane may 'go down well')

[Spicerack]

Yeah, what if he was looking down making a rollie and hit a mountain or something.

[ToraToraTora]

the contents of Vape smoke is not only water vapour it's a concoction of chemicals.

[youngmafbog]

I think we can spot the vapours and smokers here TTT !

[ToraToraTora]

yeah YMB, always amazes me how they'll defend anything to defend their disgusting habit.

[Mamyalynne]

Daft chap, he should know which controls are which - bet it was scary.

[pixie374]

I don't do either, ttt. I just don't understand your logic that it causes people to press the wrong buttons.

[pixie374]

Ymb... I meant

[Prudie]

Thank god he was vaping - otherwise what else could we blame his plain lack of concentration on?

[Mamyalynne]

Ha! Nice one Prudie.
